ShoutWiki is a wiki farm that was created in 2007 and launched on June 25, 2010.[1]
Good Qualities[edit]
- It has a wide range of features, including many skins and extensions.[2]
- It has less ads than other wiki farms, such as Fandom.
- Many great wikis, such as the Anti-Wikia Alliance,[3] Winx Club Wiki, Weirdcyclopedia (before December 2022), Sanrio Wiki, etc.
- The staff are helpful when they're around, which is unfortunately not often.
- Although it isn't on the latest update of MediaWiki, it is still on a pretty up-to-date version and is leagues ahead of EditThis.info or Wiki-Site.[4]
Bad Qualities[edit]
- People have been unable to create wikis on the platform for nearly four years as of August 2024; this is mostly because it took two and a half years for ShoutWiki to upgrade to MediaWiki 1.35, so long that the next LTS version, MediaWiki 1.39, released in the meantime.
- ShoutWiki is critically understaffed, only having two staff members that are sporadically active named Jack Phoenix and Saftzie; consequently, support times are very slow, often taking months or even years.
- Additionally, Lewis Cawte, another ShoutWiki staff member, can be extremely rude to other users and will completely neglect them in whatever dire situation they're in.
- Its servers are slower than you would expect and have stopped functioning at random points in the past.
- It's flooded with ads that slow down the site.
